[WSBARP] Washington Probate with Foreign Beneficiary

[Mark K. Funke]

Teunis - My understanding is that Non-resident aliens obtain an “ITIN” from the IRS:

https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc850/tc857

Income is subject to, I believe, a 30% withholding. There is an extensive German-American Estate Tax Treaty and an Income Tax treaty.

https://www.irs.gov/businesses/international-businesses/germany-tax-treaty-documents

Last time I dealt with this was a few years back and that particular situation got very complicated…

Thank you, - Mark
